Re: [Repeater-Builder] Ultimate test coax cables

Joe, I've melted PL259 connectors on 20 meters but never seen one glow because of the spring becoming so hot. Bet it took the temper and tension out of that spring. We had a Radio Shack store in town catch on fire last year. Someone placed some combustible liquid next to a space heater

Chuck, I purchase the majority of my cable and connectors from TESSCO. I have not had to buy any RG-214 within the past few years, since I bartered for a large quantity of new cable when a contractor had to install hardline instead of the RG-214 he had already bought for the job and couldn't retu

Re: [Repeater-Builder] UHF Micor Mobile PA Question

John, You should be able to get 100 watts or better... but it won't last very long. Per Motorola's spec sheet the UHF mobile is rated at 35 watts maximum for continuos duty which is what a repeater does. The same ceramic PA sections are used in the Compa-Station but they are mounted on

[Repeater-Builder] Re: 220 Rptr Ant (Decibel DB-204 vs Hustler G7)

I was guessing you meant DB-224, not DB-204. The 224 is a four bay folded dipole array with 6 dB omni gain. The DB-224 would be the best choice for top mouting if you are in a lightning prone area, as the G7- 220 has a top whip about 1/8" thick that would probably vaporize with the right hit.
